First off, did you read that article? It doesn't support your point. Secondly, have either of you guys run a Dominator on the street? Two? I have and I am here to tell you that they are the most adjustable carbs on the planet. They can be made to work very well. I might even bet that you could put one (a 750) on a stock 360 and have it behave properly, cant say that for other carbs. I have every reason to believe that the OPs engine combo is on the racy-er side of things and there is a reason that he is asking about the Dominator explicitly. I just read the article, thank you by the way it is a good article and there is a lot of info there that is very useful. In the article it states a couple of things. The 750 Dominator has a smaller bore size than the 1050.

I don't care if it supports my point, your missing mine via what you read and only what you read. No big deal. You can go read and beileve what you want. If you have done this, great. But heres my point via what YOU said and nothing more on that for now. Ready for the quote?

They can be made to work very well.

Can be made to work. Why? Seriously speaking, all carbs can be "Made to work well" and all will need tuning. This one requires more tuning. So whats the point your making?
If such is the case, going to a higher dollor carb with 3 instead of 2 circuts, why not get a better carb and make a jump upwards with more features?
LOL WTF will spend his money and go super duper quasi moto direct port F.I.! LOL!

I might even bet that you could put one (a 750) on a stock 360 and have it behave properly, cant say that for other carbs.

You might even bet? Why bet? And other carbs won't work? Are you outta your mind?
So your telling me for the better part of the last 75 years that people have been putting Carters and Holleys on there engine that weren't this 750 Dom series carb, they were doing it wrong?

You are crazy. Absoultely crazy.

cant say that for other carbs

I just can't beilev I'm even reading this one. It applies to every carb to a degree.

The 750 Dominator has a smaller bore size than the 1050.

This, we know. Thank YOU very much. ;)

They also state this " The bottom line is that large carburetors can be made to work on the street.

True, been there done that, wan't the happiest about it, but, if it'll getcha home, then by GOD do it. I once had a 800 DP on a mostly stock 318. That was short lived. (Thanks tomy buds, I got home with it and promptly swapped it out. Gave it back.)

The choice is to either invest in a custom-built carb modified by a professional carb builder like SMI or spend the time, patience, and money in search of the knowledge and tricks to modify your own carburetor to perform up to current expectations.

If one wants to invest (Or AKA throw there money away, fine) or learn a carb (Which any hot rodder worth the salt will at least attempt to do.) fine, I guess it's a choice thing. Which one do you do?
Did you learn to tune a carb?
The OE poster never stated if he knows or learned. So, with that being, that alone leans me to suggest a basic holley to learn on. (Something that has been done for many years. When did that 1850/3310 carb come out? IDK, millions of hot rodders/racers can be to far from wrong.)

None of this will come easy and there's much more to the Dominators than we could cover here. If you do your homework, you can make a Dominator work on the street. "

So by this, I should throw away my tried and true carbs and spend more money on a 750 Dom to learn a 3 curcuit carb for what now?

A 750 VS belongs on STOCK cars and is a very milk toast carb, I dont like them and apparently it shows. I think we have presented a bunch of good info for the OP to digest. Thanks guys for the info and the good debate.

Milky toast carb. That is funny! IDK what that means. I never read that before, but it sounds like a trashing of the carb. LOL! That is funny. He he he he, milky toast!

A VS carb works best with a auto matic trans, he has that.
I've seen 3310's into the 11's. I guess they got it working well? Would the Dom be better? I guess it would be. But at what cost? IDK that ethier. But is it worth it to you for a street/ strip car?


there is alot of missing info here on his build. Just street strip and 3.91's leaves alot of room. I personally do not see a S/S car w/3.91 being super fast and in need of a high dollor carb and a possible re-learning of tuning a 3 curciut. IDK.

From here on out, I'm outta this thread. He has alot to choose from and read about.
